I've been stalling on sanding off my hood, which has had a couple of ugly growths under the primer it came with. So today I figured I'd better get started on it, and took my wire wheel on a 4" angle grinder, and my dewalt orbital sander out and got to work. Well, time has not been kind and the rust has spread around the hood.

If I shoot it on as is, it will look like a cauliflower, so I'm trying to find something that will smooth out the rough spots and kill the rust, too. I'm not the least bit interested in bondo, so that's out.
Seems I've read somewhere that there's a type of POR15 that's also has metal filling qualities, and the term silver comes to mind. Is this true? Could I fill this cover this with a thin coat of POR15 (after etching it)? If so, is it sandable? I need to shoot something on here by this weekend, so I'm hoping this will work. Thanks, Lee
